Tailored Defense Strategies For Juvenile Crime Cases
Defending Against False Accusations
Being falsely accused can be a challenging and emotional experience and doesn’t guarantee you won’t be charged. However, there are strong defenses that can be built on false accusations. If you are in this circumstance, reach out to our lawyers for top-notch legal guidance, representation, and rights protection. We will work hard to find the necessary evidence to prove you are innocent and will work aggressively towards the truth.
Alibi Or Wrong Defendant
After your child is accused of a crime, you may discover that they have an alibi and wonder how this will play into their case. With a skilled lawyer, you can be confident that having an alibi will allow for a solid defense, one that with the right evidence, can have your child acquitted and bring back peace in your home once again. Reach out to our law firm today and get started with a free consultation to see how we can help you and your child!
Lack Of Intent To Commit A Crime
There are many solid defenses that our team can employ when your child is accused of a crime. In some cases, minors get caught up in actions where they commit a crime they did not intend to. In these circumstances, our lawyers at My AZ Criminal Defense will work hard to prove the lack of intent in order to have your child’s punishments reduced or even have them acquitted. Don’t wait to get the help you need, reach out to us today.
Coercion Or Duress
If your child was forced to commit a crime under threat of harm or powerful pressure they could not resist, you may have a defense option available. This defense can be especially helpful as the court realizes that juveniles have a greater chance of being influenced due to their age. If this defense is successful, charges and sentences can be reduced or, in some cases, the accusation could be dismissed altogether.
Entrapment Defense
Similarly to coercion or duress, the Arizona court sees juveniles as more vulnerable to entrapment and therefore may give more leniency in such cases. Entrapment happens when law enforcement or an authority figure induces or lures the minor into committing a crime. Our lawyers will work hard to find enough evidence to prove entrapment to make sure that your minor is not held responsible for the inappropriate use of authority of another.
Exposing Police Misconduct
Don’t let law enforcement get away with acting inappropriately. Whether the police used improper interrogation techniques, denied access to your child’s lawyer or guardian, or used intimidation during questioning, we can use this defense to push for a more positive outcome! Highlighting misconduct can ensure certain evidence is not used and even can have charges dropped, depending on the circumstances.
Insufficient Evidence
In many cases, there may not be enough evidence to prove that a crime occurred or that your child was the one who committed a crime. If this is the case, reach out to our lawyers right away! We will find the evidence necessary to build a strong defense. With a track record of success, you can trust that we will do everything in our power to protect the rights of your child and work towards a positive outcome.
Juvenile Offense Penalties in Arizona
Community Service Requirements
Arizona focuses on rehabilitation instead of punitive measures to protect the future of minors. However, in some cases, minors can be charged as adults. Ensure penalties such as community service by letting our lawyers fight for you minor.
Fines & Financial Penalties
Being convicted of a crime as a juvenile can come with significant financial penalties including hefty fines. Let our attorneys help negotiate a plea deal or use a defense strategy to reduce the amounts so your minor can focus on building a new future.
Restitution Or Reparation Payments
If your minor is facing a criminal charge for their actions, they may also be facing restitution or reparation payments. If so, let our team help. By creating a strong defense and advocating for your minor’s rights, we will work to reduce the amount owed.
Participation in Diversion Programs
Your minor may be required to participate in a diversion program as a penalty for his or her crime. This is often the case for juveniles in Arizona as the state wants to re-build a brighter future and teach life skills for the young people instead of punishing them.
Mandatory Counseling Sessions
Because many of the crimes are a consequence of mental health issues, substance abuse, and behavioral problems, your minor will be required to attend counseling sessions aimed at rehabilitating and providing tools for changed behavior.
Intensive Probation Terms
After being charged with a crime, minors can face intensive probation terms including regular reporting, curfews, community service, counseling or treatment, educational requirements, and more. Let our lawyers advocate for the right terms for your situation.
Juvenile Detention Sentences
One of the penalties for juvenile crimes is juvenile detention. Some individuals are not cut out for such a punishment and it could have serious psychological impacts. Arizona prioritizes rehabilitation over detention, but if your minor faces detention, we can help.
